Without checking the web the first one that comes to mind is
ddd[1].
This is a graphical front end to gdb. I've used it a couple of
times and
it worked ok.

There is also the GNU Visual Debugger (GVD)[2][3], I've never
used this
but it looks a lot like DDD and I believe it's also a front end
to gdb.

Kdevelop [4] is supposed to have integrated debugger, but it's
an IDE,
not just a debugger. And since we're talking KDE there is also
Kdbg [5],
the KDE graphical debugger.

There are a bunch of ther things out there, like Valgrind [6],
a memory
debugger, for those nasty leaks. Or xwpe [7], which is the
Borland development
environment look-alike.

All of these are probably in freshmeat.net with a search for
debugger.

In summary, I've only used ddd[1] and tried a couple of the
rest to see
if they ran but haven't used them. All of this probably more than
a year
ago, so things should be better. Printf is my debugger.
